Testimonials
"The rates you obtained for us were better than we had hoped"
Thank you for all of your hard work securing our LIRA and RRSP joint annuities.
It seems that there are not many financial advisors who are interested in helping their clients purchase annuities, so we consider ourselves to be very lucky in having found you and your website.
The rates you obtained for us were better than we had hoped. We especially appreciated the way you provided choices and kept us informed by phone and by email. You were able to help us achieve our goals while being most pleasant and communicative.
With sincere thanks, C and B Saint John, NB (August 24th, 2011)
"My valued financial security advisors"
My association with Ivon Hughes and Hughes Trustco goes back 25 years.
Widowed in 2009, I have been relying on them, not only as agents for my insurance annuity policies, but more importantly as my valued financial security advisors.
My heirs, though willing, are not financial experts and will be relieved to be able to turn to Ivon and Hughes Trustco. In arranging annuities has made it possible for me to enjoy lifelong monthly income to add to pensions - Allowing me security and peace of mind.
Without the thoughtful expertise of Hughes Trustco and Ivon, my old age would be far from ideal.
I am enormously grateful to them and him.

Disability Income Protection
"As an independent working woman, I realized in June 2003 that I better get a guarantee that my income would continue if I became disabled. I contacted Ivon who shopped the market (I have enough of my own shopping to do) for the best disability insurance quote and who got me a great policy at a great price. Now I know I have tax free income and if you, the reader, are not protecting your most valuable asset, your income, you should do something about it."
- Margot Daley, Ontario, Canada
Disability Income
"For some time I had been looking for a good broker to guide me through the jungle of life insurance and most particularily, a disability insurance quote. Somehow I landed on Ivon's site, uncertain of what questions to ask and what was involved. Ivon supplied various types of disability insurance quotes from different companies until we agreed on the type of policy I needed.Now that I have a monthly income secure, and tax-free too, I do not have to be concerned if I become unable to work.I fully recommend his services."

Life Insurance
"Hi Ivon. I know you have tried to call. I have been away lately. Just to keep you posted I am negotiating with a potential employer. Now that I am better armed with info on life insurance, I am making sure that they include it in the final offer. If everything plays out the way it should I will not be needing any supplemental insurance for the time being. Should I need anything in the future I will be sure to contact you. Appreciated your help and honesty."

Happy Life Insurance Client
"I have been dealing with Ivon Hughes at Hughes Trustco Group since 1989 for all of my family's insurance requirements.
What convinced me to deal with Hughes Trustco initially was the attention paid to every detail as well as the manner in which I was able to view the rates of many insurance companies and then make a decision on the best value for my dollar.
I am pleased to say that 15 years later, my insurance needs are still met with the same interest and attention as they were in 1989!
I have attached the first page of a sample quote from 1990 to show that he provides all the quotes from all the companies in order to make a decision.

Investment Client
"To whom it may concern,
It is my pleasure to furnish this letter of reference in favour of Mr. Ivon T. Hughes.
My acquaintenship with Mr. Hughes began in 1991, at which time he asked me to set up his office with current computer technology. My association with Mr. Hughes and his company, Hughes Trustco was and continues to be a pleasurable one.
In the period of 1991 to date, I subsequently became a client to Mr. Hughes and Hughes Trustco. I placed several investments with him, and now in my retirement, I can report that he was able to invest wisely on my behalf. It is worth noting also, that Mr. Hughes intervened on my behalf of a particularly difficult investment I had made prior ro our association, and one involving a liquidated investment company. While the issue remains to be satisfactorily resolved, Mr. Hughes nonetheless contributes to moving it forward, and for which I am most grateful.
In summary then Madam or Sir, I can state that my association with Mr. Hughes and his company, Hughes Trustco, has be most satisfactory both as a supplier of services and as a client.
If I can be of any further service, please feel free to call upon me."

Life Insurance and Critical Illness
"I met Ivon a couple of years ago when he presented me with term life insurance quotes from different companies for our partnership insurance. I examined various proposals and decided to buy 4 term life insurance policies that suited us best.
However, I was unable to buy a critical illness policy which is very important to protect your income, as I was resident in the USA. Now that I have returned, I am applying for a critical illness policy so that in the event of a major illness, I will receive a lump sum payment. This gives me peace of mind as my family is protected by a cash payment if I live or the term life insurance payout if I die.
- Wes Ramage,
Cornwall, Ontario, Canada
Critical Illness Client
As I have a family and an income to protect, I needed to find coverage which was well affordable and comprehensive.
Because of the low cost, Ivon recommended term life insurance and supplied me with quotes from all the carriers. And he did the same for my critical illness policy, explaining in detail the different terms and prices.
I purchased the critical illness policy to protect my income and my family in the event of sickness. In addition, the term life insurance policy protects my family if I should die. I fully recommend Ivon to anyone seeking independent life insurance advice."

Life Insurance and Critical Illness
"As the President of Clearstone Group, I requested through Ivon’s website term life insurance quotes for our partnership agreement. He supplied us with quotes from all the carriers from which we chose Canada Life to protect our families. It was a simple and easy procedure. Then to back up that policy, we took critical illness policies to pay us a lump sum in the event of a major sickness and so that the company could continue its work without having to support a partner who could no longer contribute. Now we intend to apply for health insurance. Overall, let me say that I am more than happy with Ivon’s work and I recommend him as a broker who supplies you with the information you need."
- Frank Famularo - President,The Clearstone Group, Montreal, Quebec
Life Insurance and Critical Illness
"As a partner in a major business , I was introduced to Ivon through the internet as someone who would deal with us fairly and simplify the mysteries of term life insurance and critical illness insurance.
Subsequently, I have purchased both term life insurance and critical illness insurance and am well satisfied with how our business has been handled. Dealing with Ivon has saved the company money because of his ability to answer questions about what coverage precisely was needed.
If you don’t have critical illness to protect your income and term life insurance to protect your family, I suggest you get it now."
- Robert Duffy, Montreal, Quebec, Canada
